at  NN Group

Get ready to drive digital change at Nationale Nederlanden (NN), one of the Netherlands’ biggest financial services companies.
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will play an instrumental role in realizing and supporting multiple fraud-detection, data integration and ingestion journeys around Payments using modern software engineering practices. In your new job, the engineering decisions you make and the lines of code you write / review / optimize has the potential to keep NN far away from the fraudsters out there and could save up to millions of Euros. Your new job could very well make a big difference in your work-life balance, too. We’re famous for it, and you’ll enjoy plenty of freedom in your new role, with all the perks of hybrid working.
Your impact at NN

For realizing and supporting such mission-critical data journeys involving fraud detection on the AWS Cloud, you adopt modern software engineering practices not limiting to DevOps, shift-left practices, and test automation. You will work primarily with JavaScript/TypeScript, GraphQL with a vast amount of exposure to Kafka, AWS Serverless technologies (e.g. API Gateway, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, SQS, SNS, EventBridge etc), GitLab, Azure DevOps, Terraform, Ansible, Packer in building the distributed software components around Fraud Detection use cases.
